Springfield Capital Walk

Our club now supports the Springfield Capital Walk.

Please check it out.  Plus there is a ton of things to do in Springfield.

Unfortunately most things are closed right now so lets hope things get back to normal so we can get out and enjoy our walks plus other things in the area.
